Dears
During the Sri Rudra Ekadasani which is held during Shashtiabdha
poorthi/Sadhbhishekam functions also I had seen that some of the
purohitas do not chant fully and even talk or attend to mobile phones
etc.They are all young /middleaged.When I point out to switch off the
phones they say these calls are important for further opportunities
etc.They may be right as far as their earnings are concerned but are
they not doing injustice to the present householder? We should not
disrespect the vaidikas but should we not tell them to be attentive to
the Japa on hand?We should not on any account ill treat them but how
to correct the black sheep?R.Krishnamoorthy.
